"REFORM!"'

Mr.. Edgar ]. Levey has an article in
the last North American Review which
is being largely quoted and commented
upon. MI. Levey Is q reputable citizen
Of New York city and the productions
of his pen are frequently read in our
standard magazines. His last Review
article is q departure from the custom
ary magazine style or theme, as it treats
Of q personal experience of the writer
and is more after the style Of a we'll.
written newspaper report Of a common,
everyday occurrence. Mr. Levey went
to the polls on election day to vote for
Nicoll, the Republican nominee for dis.
trict attorney. He found q long line Of
voters waiting with their ballots tightly
clenched in their right hands. He fol-
lowed the line away from tho booth,
saw every man turn into a saloon, and
found there a "hesler" handing out a
five dollar bill to each voter, with as
little concealmcnt rs if he had been
paying for other than human live stock.
Upon his mere request to the voters
to examine their tickets and see whose
name was printed on them, he wal sur
rounded by roughs, whose loud COM
plant, as he put it, was that IA dude
with a clean collar had come to deprive
them Of an honest living" He did not
escape without q personal encounter,
in which the police, instructed to work
for Fellows, refused to interfere. At
tempting to challenge a voter whom he
had e e receive money for his vote, all
effort was made to push him out Of the
polling place by force. This he resisted,
but the vote was sworn through not
w%ithstanding. At every districthe found
the sale Of votes open and shameless,
the market ranging from 50 to SIS with
$40 offered in special cases for desirable
property. He estimated that not less
than a quarter of a million dollars was
spent in New York i'll bribery at the
polls alone.
Mr.. Levey concludes his article as
follows: "It may be safely said, with
out any attempt to p%alliate their crime
that the anarchists lately hanged in Chi
cago have not SO sinned against s%ociet,
a. have the political leaders who make
such a thing as free choice in election
an impossibility."
Fellows was elected. lie had the
special Endorsement of President Cleve
land at the time of his nomination, ane
the Democratic committee of New
York city subsequently received Mr.
Cleyeland's check for $4,000 for election
expenses. At IS each, 50 5000 would buy
600 votes.
Reform is certainly necessary when q
president of the United States deliber
ately draws his check for the purpose O
buying votes; and no man knew better
than Cleveland for what purpose the
money was to be used; for he is an ole
political "rounder" himself.

THE ABERDEEN B B

The party by the name Of Moore,
who was in this city a few weeks ago
endeavoring to obtain the signatures of
persons who would attend the proposed
notification convention at Aberdeen,
said to the INTER-OcEAN: "The OBJ.
ject is to have Republicans cap
ture and control the convention,
so that the Democrats will not get
the credit of bringing about the ad-
mission of Dakota" AS a result of Mr..
Moore's patriotic efforts in behalf of
the Republicans we find, in a circular
just issued by the nullificationists, that
of the five persons who signed his petit
ton in this county at least four of them
are Democrats, three being attaches of
the U. S. land Office in this city, ap-
pointes of the present Democratic ad-
Observation-Disclosures politicians, in
fact; and still it is charged by the anti
divisionists that the division movement
is the work Of politicians. Further ex.
animation of the notification circular
shows the names of such Democratic
warehouses as NJ. L Mccormick, Geo.
NJ. Hollenbeck, Dr.. Galloway, D. NJ.
Inman, Mark w. Sheafe, John D. Law.
Ter, Dr.. Alloway, Geo. Lashelle, Judge
Pratt, Editor Vallandingham. ]. r. Viii.
son, Col. Ely, Col. Uline, D. w. Maratta
and many others Of the same party
The Ramsey county contingent is as
follows: S. S. Smith, receiver U. S. land
office; Ruben Noble, clerk in U. S. land
Office; W. Y. Rumney, clerk in U. S
land Office; IF. o'Brlen, applicant fol
registership U. s. land office.
So much for the assertion OF Mr..
Moore that the desire and object of the
nu~llifcationists is to "put none but Re
publicans on guard
So much also for the claim that The
anti-divisienists are net politicians.

PARKERsBURG, w. Va, July 5.-There is
an apple tree on the farm OF Capt. William
son. in Peasants county which is now fun
of fine looking large apples. The fruit con-
tains neither core nor seed, and the tree has
never been known 10 blossom. A year ago il
was said there was such tree ON the cap
tains farm, but few persons would believe
the story. This year a number Of Trustworthy
me1 bear witness that the fruit appeared
without giving forth bloom, and that the
fruit at this time is large and fine and has
neither seed nor core.
